Highlights:

• A novel numerical algorithm is developed using Newton linearization method for linearization of non-linear advection terms in the Navier–Stokes equations.

• The numerical experiments proved a remarkable improvement in the solution convergence of the developed algorithm without compromising the solution accuracy.

• The solution convergence rate of present algorithm increased by the Reynolds number for lid driven cavity flow problem and increased by 6 times at Re=10000.

• Present algorithms found a solution for backward facing step flow problem 10 times faster than the Picard linearization algorithm and maintained the solution accuracy.
